S. N. RUNDELL, M. D., was born in Morgan County, Ind., August 6, 1844.  He is
the youngest son, and his parents were Hiram R. and Mercy (Wyett) Rundell, both
natives of New York, the father born on November 9, 1796, the mother on December
23, 1805.  On October 16, 1823, the parents were married, in 1837, moved to Ohio,
and in 1842 came to Morgan County, where the father died November 2, 1850.
The mother still survives, and lives in Jackson Township.  Their children were William
W., Hester A., Andrew J., Reuben J., Malvina, John W. (deceased), Fletcher, Amy
I. and Samuel N.  The latter, our subject, was fairly educated at Attica, N. Y.;  from
thence he was sent to Greencastle, Ind., but completed his education at Franklin, Ind., after which he engaged in teaching school.  In 1869, he began the study of medicine, 
Drs. Griffin and Sparkes, of Morgantown, being his preceptors, until 1870, when, in
the winter of 1870-71, he took a course of lectures at the University of Louisville, Ky.  
He then taught school in Johnson County, Ind., continuing his studies in medicine in the
meantime, and in the winter of 1873-74 again attended lectures, graduating in February,
1874.  He entered upon the practice of his profession at Elkinsville, Brown County, Ind.
He was there married on November 21, 1874, to Anna B., daughter of Reuben and
Amanda Varney.  She was born on August 19, 1853.  In 1875, the Doctor moved to
Cope, Morgan County, and resumed his practice, which he has since pursued with
flattering success.  To the Doctor and his wife have been born four children--Ora E.,
Mabel M., Reuben and Esther.  The Doctor is a member of the Masonic fraternity,
also of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
